26 past events with the fiction writing tag

Writing will come to life from 7:30 to 9:00 p.m. tonight in Bracken Library Room 104 at the third annual Undergraduate Writers Gala. Twenty students will present original works in fiction, nonfiction and poetry. After the student presentations, everyone who attends can participate in a round robin haiku contest. Prizes will be provided. “The purpose is to showcase undergraduate talent inside and out of the department and allow them to compete and get their work out there,” said Tyler Gobble, president of the Writers Community of Ball State. The Student Government Association and the Writers Community are co-sponsoring the event. This is the first year for their partnership. Last year 65 students attended, but Gobble said he’s hoping to see 75 people there this year. Free food will also be provided.
